October (1981)

• I watched the way it was
  The way it was when he was with us
  And I really don't mind
  Sleeping on the floor
  But I couldn't sleep after what I saw
  I wrote this letter to tell you
  The way I feel.

  To see what I could see
  To hear
  And I wish you were here

The Joshua Tree (1987)

  Sleight of hand and twist of fate
  On a bed of nails she makes me wait

  Where did you go
  And I don't want to lie
  I just know that I need to...

  • Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own

• Tough, you think you've got the stuff. You're telling me and anyone you're hard enough. You don't have to put up a fight, you don't have to always be right. Let me take some of the punches for you tonight. You don't have to go it alone. And it's you when I look in the mirror. It's you when I pick up the phone. Sometimes you can't make it on your own.

  • All Because of You

• Would you deny for others what you demand for yourself? You speak of signs and wonders, I need something other. I would believe if I was able, but I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table. Where you live should not decide whether you live or whether you die.

U218 Singles (2006)

• Love makes strange enemies. Makes love where love may please. The soul in it's strip tease. Hate brought to its knees. The sky over our head, we can reach it from our bed. You let me in your heart, and out of my head. Oh can't you see what love has done? Oh can't you see what love has done? Oh can't you see what love has done? What it's doing to me...?
  • Window in the Skies
